The Balto® Link is a supportive hobble brace for dogs designed to limit the outward movement of the back legs. It acts as a gentle rear leg hobble system for dogs, helping prevent excessive leg splaying—a common issue in conditions like swimmer puppy syndrome or certain neurological disorders. The adjustable strap connects the hind legs to encourage proper alignment, offering vital support during recovery or rehabilitation.

Great for:
- Leg Control: Limits rear leg splaying to promote proper stance and motion
- Neurological Support: Aids dogs with coordination or nerve issues
- Post-Surgery Recovery: Stabilizes the legs after hip, pelvic, or femoral procedures
- Muscle Weakness: Helps dogs with weak hind limbs regain controlled movement
- Rehabilitation Aid: Ideal for structured healing plans and physical therapy
Unlike typical braces, the Balto® Link dog rear leg hobble system is made with soft, breathable fabric infused with silver fibers for added comfort and antibacterial protection. It’s fully adjustable for a secure, non-restrictive fit and easy to hand wash. This splaying dog brace is perfect for dogs of all ages and sizes (consult your vet if under 2 years old). Use as a trusted stabilization brace to improve balance, recovery, and quality of life.
Comes in sizes small through XX-large. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here.
All Balto® braces are made from high-quality materials, not neoprene, which is known to: collect bacteria, provide inadequate support, and wear down quickly. A variety of sizes ensure a secure fit. No pinching straps.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. Apply brace for balanced increments of time, if appropriate, for pets under the age of 2 to prevent possible growth disturbances.

Maintenance & Repair
A clean brace not only prevents infections, irritation, and a stinky smell; but it also allows your brace to last longer. To help support the longevity of your bracing device, here are some of our tips on how to properly clean your orthopedic bracing:
- Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
- Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
- By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
- Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
- Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
